So, over the past 2 weeks i have noticed something fairly odd about the scottsbluff hub. Its been either totaly empty or very close to it for the past 2 weeks atleast and is still listed as a hub. Tomah, Wisconsin on the other hand has had a few hundred things posted durring that time and is not listed as a hub. Either im missing something or hubs are glitched and not changeing over to largest tps like their supposed to.

Yeah, it is becoming VERY odd that ScottsBluff is still a Trade Hub, since even I haven't been selling there, and I don't know anyone else who has really lately. It's possible that the Dev's have left it as a Hub simply because there's no other player built Hubs active, but I guess they'd have to be the ones to answer that lol. Maybe it takes a month without significant sales to lose status, who knows. At least we have all the other buildings there by Monks that people actually use, like the refinery and PG.

Waaaay back when, before bluestacks, when web was really through a browser, even then, there was little enough activity in the trade posts that they didn't reach "hub" level. If I recall correctly, back then, the dev explanation was that they were basically manually entering it into their system as a hub and putting the travel estate in everyone's travel list as such. The mobile version was getting enough action in several tradeposts that just having enough activity made a tradepost a hub....and not enough activity meant it didn't get added to the travel list (it was all automated). None of the web versions was getting enough activity, so the devs simply chose the ones that were getting the most action and made them hubs.

The only benefits that I know of are simply having the posts in you travel list. I wouldn't fight it, because only 5% or 10% tax is wonderful It almost sounds like they have a static integer threshhold that must be reached before a "flip" can happen. I would like to know what other trade posts are active without seeing the light of day inside a travel list
